Sinossi

"Morning Glory Clouds" explores the captivating atmospheric phenomena of Morning Glory clouds, rare, rolling cloud formations. The book uniquely combines atmospheric science, geography, and indigenous knowledge to unravel the mysteries of these meteorological events.

 
One intriguing fact is that these clouds are often associated with turbulence, posing potential aviation hazards. Another is their deep cultural significance to indigenous communities in regions where they frequently appear, who have observed and interpreted them for generations.

 
The book examines the complex interplay of temperature gradients, humidity, and wind patterns necessary for Morning Glory cloud formation, emphasizing the role of gravity waves. It progresses from basic meteorological principles and geographical settings to a detailed explanation of atmospheric processes and concludes with specific observation locations, particularly in Northern Australia, and the impact of climate change. This comprehensive approach offers valuable insights into weather forecasting and understanding atmospheric mechanics.

The Travel Bog Diaries - One...

Liz Deacle

Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian.
Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip.
Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected.
This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe.

Even if they wanted to.
Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure.
